hierarchy.rs

//! Demonstrates techniques for creating a hierarchy of parent and child entities.
//!
//! When [`DefaultPlugins`] are added to your app, systems are automatically added to propagate
//! [`Transform`] and [`Visibility`] from parents to children down the hierarchy,
//! resulting in a final [`GlobalTransform`] and [`InheritedVisibility`] component for each entity.
